Ahead of the European Commission Taxation Omnibus package, Eurochambres published two positions urging the EU to decisively simplify its corporate tax framework.
The first addresses the broader EU corporate tax landscape with the chamber network calling on the Commission to eliminate duplication across overlapping directives, harmonise cross-border definitions, streamline reporting obligations, and introduce simplified procedures for low-risk activities and SMEs.
The second focuses specifically on the Global Minimum Tax Directive (Pillar Two), warning that European companies bear disproportionate compliance costs while major competitors in the US, China and India face no equivalent rules. Eurochambres calls for the Directive's suspension until a level international playing field is restored, alongside the immediate conversion of temporary safe harbours into permanent exceptions and a significant reduction in reporting burdens.
